A lot of times, it can be the smallest gestures that change a mood from one end of the spectrum to the other. Your style can play a big role in that as well! Check out 5 style tips to boost your mood.

Learn to laugh
“The best thing a girl can where is a smile.” Laughing is good for the soul! Laughing keeps your mental wellbeing on the right track. With laughter comes good times and memories you will never forget! Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, which can also improve blood flow.

Whether it’s a good laugh from your favorite comedian or just a moment of goodness that resulted in laughing until your face hurts; a good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes. It has been said that laughter keeps our youthfulness, so laugh it up ladies! 

Add color to your wardrobe

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing black. Black is one of the most common colors to wear, but doesn’t have the same feel good effects of other colors. Instead of throwing on another black shirt today, put on yellow—it suggests warmth, sunshine, cheer, and optimism—or purple, which is associated with royalty, luxury, sophistication, and authority.

Wearing something with color subconsciously helps with boosting your mood. When you walk past the mirror and see such a vibrant color, a small light instantly goes off in your brain, prompting a positive mood swing. Rejuvenating your mood with color is a simple yet effective way to use style to improve your mood in a better direction any time, any day.

Breathe

Breathing is so very important to our livelihood. As it gets taken for granted almost all the time, we never come to terms with how it literally helps us. Without consistent breathing, it is safe to say we would all be zombies.

Most of us don’t take deep soothing breaths from our diaphragm. Instead, we take short, shallow breaths that only use the upper part of our lungs. Inhale slowly through your nose, and then exhale through your mouth, making a loud whooshing sound. To begin, do this for just two minutes, twice a day.

Create healthy spaces

Places and people emit their own vibes. Remember to surround yourself with people who are on a positive wavelength to ensure you are not drained of your goodness. If the people around you don’t appreciate your personal style, change the people you’re around!

Energy—we don’t understand it, but everyone feels it. Consider what it is that makes you at peace. The more pleasant and conducive things you do, you will find yourself in good moods and positive energy. A healthy space is needed to live a full life.

Although a happy space is not always be there when you’d like it, it is important for you to never depend on others for your happiness. You are in control of what enters your space. Happiness is in the vibe of the beholder, so be sure that you treat others how you would like to be treated. 

Random acts of kindness

Kindness comes in all shapes and sizes. According to the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, random acts of kindness are good for you and your mood. Whether it’s giving a simple compliment to a stranger or coworker, it usually leads to happiness being spread.

Random acts of kindness can increase your energy level and produce oxytocin. If you are shy, don’t worry! You don’t even have to do a random act of kindness to see the benefits—even simply witnessing them increases optimism. Check out 15 Random Acts of Kindness for a few ideas!
